7 Strange and Mysterious project Google working On

1.LUNAR X


Google offers $30 million to anyone who can send a robot to Moon, have it travel 500 meters and transmit video, images and data back to Earth. What’s the purpose? We still don’t know yet. It is developed by carneige mellon university.
2.Cane with a camera

Google is coming up with a walking cane that will support a built in camera. The ultimate goal is still unknown and left for our imagination.
3. The Robot Yourself

Google has also invested in ‘Automated Generation of Suggestions for Personalized Reactions in a Social Network’. What it basically does is that it scours through your old posts and tweets in order to create an automated response to your friends. Basically, it will provide you with a robot you that can replicate your thoughts and act accordingly.
and what doesn’t work. But what other applications will this technology have?
4. Purchasing Wind Power

Google has purchased 114 Megawatts of wind power in Iowa. Well that sounds quite normal, you would say, right? Wrong, because Google has no data centers in that area.Soon,all over world google location
5. Gaze Tracking System

This technology that Google has invested in will allow advertisers to know how long was an advertisement viewed. This technology will help advertisers know what works for them and what doesn’t work. But what other applications will this technology have?
6. Electronic Skin Tattoo


Motorola (Google owned) has taken quite an interest in electronic tatoos and by interest, we mean that it is funding the electronic skin tattoo, which will connect to a mobile communication device and shall work by providing important bodily statistics to the user.
7. Interactive Learning Centers
When Google builds such barges on San Francisco Bay and state that they will possibly be used as ‘Interactive Learning Centers’, you know something just doesn’t add up.

Top 10 Smartphone at End of 2014

1. Apple iPhone 6 & 6 Plus
 Apple surprised me by launching a device as large as the iPhone 6 Plus, but after spending nearly two months with it I am convinced the iPhone 6 Plus is nearly the perfect device for me. 
I decided to include the iPhone 6 in my number one pick since it's the same device as the iPhone 6 Plus, except for the size, battery capacity, and optical image stabilization in the camera. I suppose I could have gone with these iPhones as picks one and two, but the size will really drive which one buyers pick up and they are both excellent choices.
The elegant hardware design, industy-leading app store, vast accessory market, and consistent user experience make the iPhone the top choice. I've discovered that the camera is also tough to beat, both in terms of quality and usability. While many other devices offer compelling camera experiences, Apple's implementation of time-lapse videos, slow motion, and HDR are incredible.
The Apple iPhone 6 and 6 Plus remain the most expensive smartphones available today with full prices ranging from $649 to $949 and two-year contract subsidized prices ranging from $199 to $499. For those of us who use our smartphones daily as an essential tool, the cost is justified.


2. Sony Xperia Z3

One of the reasons I returned my Sony Xperia Z2 was because it wasn't available on a US carrier. Thankfully, Sony was able to launch the Xperia Z3 on T-Mobile and I bought one after taking the eval unit for a spin.

US carrier support brings stronger RF reception and carrier enhancements, such as Wi-Fi Calling. I was also able to spread the cost out over a period of time rather than coming up with the $630 right away.
The Xperia Z3 is waterproof, has a solid camera, offers a nearly pure Google experience, and has an amazingly premium fit and finish. Specifications are at the top of the Android line with a fast 2.5 GHz processor, 32GB integrated storage, 3GB RAM, 20.7-megapixel camera, microSD expansion card slot, and 5.2-inch 1920 x 1080 display.
My T-Mobile SIM switches between the Z3 and iPhone 6 Plus, with the Z3 often getting more time in my pocket due to its waterproof capability that lets me run with it in the rain, the fantastic audio experience with the active noise-cancelling earbuds, and the ability to access everything on the device through the Android operating system.

3. New Moto X & Droid Turbo

The 2014 Moto X is one of the best Android devices available with plenty of custom case options, nearly pure Google experience, and fantastic Motorola experience enhancements. The Droid Turbo is a slightly larger Moto X with a few tweaks made by Verizon Wireless.
Motorola continues to price the Moto X at a very reasonable $499 no-contract cost, with subsidies dropping it as low as $99. You can customize the Moto X with features such as a leather back and various colors. The Droid Turbo can be ordered with a unique carbon fiber back.
Some people are concerned with the 2,300 mAh battery on the Moto X. Even though this is a rather low capacity compared to other modern high-end smartphones, I have been able to consistently get through a long day with the Moto X. The Droid Turbo has a massive 3,900 mAh battery, but the high resolution display (2560 x 1140 pixels) ends up providing less than the two days that Motorola advertises.

4. Samsung Galaxy Note 4

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 was last year's high-end Samsung device and the Note 4 does it again. Samsung finally improved the construction with a metal frame rather than the plastic chrome finish used in the past.
The Galaxy Note 4 is powered by a Snapdragon 805 quad-core processor, with a 5.7-inch 2560 x 1440 Super AMOLED screen, 3GB of RAM, 32GB internal storage with support for a microSD card, 16-megapixel camera, 3.7-megapixel front-facing camera, and large 3220 mAh replaceable battery.
If you like using the S Pen for productivity, then the Note 4 is clearly a number one pick for you. After seeing my wife's Galaxy S5 act up continuously after several months of use, I am a bit apprehensive about buying a device with the TouchWiz software.

5. Google Nexus 6

Google released the Nexus 6 with an initial availability of devices that lasted for just a few minutes. Carrier launches have been delayed and it may be difficult for people to buy one in time for the holidays.
Google threw the reasonable Nexus pricing model out the window with the Nexus 6, which disheartened many people looking for a device as good as the Nexus 5 for a price less than the iPhone's. The Nexus 6 is priced at $649 for 32GB and $699 for 64GB, which is still less than the iPhone 6 Plus, but $250 more than the Nexus 5 last year.
Unlike previous Nexus devices though, the Nexus 6 is not really lacking in any specification. It has a large 5.92-inch x resolution display, Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB RAM, 32/64 GB internal storage, large 3,900 mAh battery, 20-megapixel camera, Qi wireless charging, and water resistance. This is the one device I have yet to test, but reports are that the camera is rather lackluster and the massive capacity battery does not perform as well as it should.


6. HTC One M8 for Windows

HTC releases amazing hardware designs and I was pleased to see them take the exact HTC One M8 Android hardware and release aWindows Phone version. The HTC One M8 for Windows is one of those rare Windows Phone devices with support for an IR blaster too so you truly do get the full HTC One M8 experience with a different operating system.
The HTC One M8 for Windows launched on Verizon, but has since come to AT&T with T-Mobile rolling it out soon as well. The camera experience is good, but like the Android version it captures limited detail with the UltraPixel lens. Since most people use their phones for social networking and online sharing, this may not be a concern for the masses.
The metal design feels great in your hand, the LCD display looks fantastic, and the device is very responsive.

7. BlackBerry Passport

I honestly thought I would never include another BlackBerry in a top ten smartphone list, but the BlackBerry Passport seriously impressed me .I purchased my own after reading early reviews and am glad I did. The BlackBerry Passport has specifications that beat nearly every smartphone today and comes in a unique form factor that is optimized for productivity.
Amazon's Android AppStore is included on the BlackBerry Passport and it is also easy to sideload the Snap application for access to the Google Play Store. Although there are very few missing apps thanks to support for Android, not all are optimized for the square display and performance can be poor at times.
The BlackBerry Passport has a 4.5-inch 1440 x 1440 pixel resolution display, full hardware QWERTY keyboard, 13-megapixel camera, 3GB RAM, 32GB internal storage, microSD card slot, and large 3,450 mAh battery.
If unified communications is important to you, then it will be tough to beat the awesome BlackBerry Hub. You can pick up the unlocked BlackBerry Passport for $599 to use with T-Mobile or AT&T in the US.
8. Nokia Lumia 1520

The Nokia Lumia 1520 remains the best Windows Phone available today and has just about everything you could want in a smartphone. This includes one of the best cameras available on a phone, microSD expansion card slot, large high-resolution display, Qi wireless charging, extremely long battery life, and the latest version of Windows Phone 8.1.
Unfortunately, it is only sold on one US carrier (AT&T) and at select online retailers, so it will not be purchased by the masses. The app gap continues to shrink with Windows Phone 8.1 and lately I have been impressed with releases like SmartThings and Alaska Airlines.
Windows Phone 8.1 itself is a satisfying OS with the best personal assistant in Cortana, a very functional Action Center, nearly perfect folder implementation on the home screen, and more. I bought the unlocked 1520.3 and could not be happier with a Windows Phone device. It is a bit sad that we have gone a year without any new high-end Lumia devices or further rollout of the Lumia 1520.
9. LG G3

LG was the first to launch a smartphone with a quad HD display and I purchased one for myself after taking it for a test drive. It turns out that I like other 1080p displays better and returned the LG G3.
The LG G3 is still a great choice with the microSD card slot, removable battery, fantastic camera, and innovative rear button design. You get a massive 5.5 inch display in a reasonable form factor thanks to some of the smallest bezels you can find on a smartphone.
The LG G3 is available now on all major US carriers and since it has been out now for several months, you can find some good deals and plenty of accessories.
10. HTC One M8 Android

The new HTC One (M8) Android is a nice upgrade to the M7 in most regards. It is one of the fastest smartphones available today. The camera is often referred to as the Achilles heel of this phone, but honestly the photos are just fine for social networks and sharing photos online with family and friends.
HTC improved its Sense 6 UI so that it honestly enhances, rather than detracts from, the Android experience. They continue to upgrade it with their new Eye Experience and an Android Lollipop update likely to come in early 2015. There is just the right amount of customizations, settings, and features without being overbearing like Samsung tends to do.
You can purchase the One M8 on all carriers and it remains an excellent choice.
As I stated in the beginning, we all have our preferences and you may have a different order for these high-end smartphones. I think this list covers the full top ten, but if you have another recommendation I would love to hear about it too.

Harvard Scientist Developed Exo-Skeleton To Increase Stamina And Prevent Against Injuries

The term “robotic exoskeleton” conjures up images of a heavy contraption with a metal frame and powerful motors that endow the wearer with super-human strength. While that’s certainly one way to think of robotic exoskeletons  like some members of Daewoo’s workforce slip into on a daily basis

scientists at Harvard have developed a new type of flexible fabric exoskeleton that could prove far more practical. It’s interesting enough that Harvard’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering has been granted $2.9 million by DARPA to continue development of the technology.
the traditional exoskeleton concept, Harvard’s so-called “Soft suit” is not designed to give the wearer vastly increase lifting capacity. Instead, the Soft Exosuit works with the musculature to reduce injuries, improve stamina, and enhance balance even for those with weakened muscles. In some ways, this approach to wearable robotics is the opposite of past exoskeletons. Rather than the human working within the abilities and constraints of the exoskeleton, the exoskeleton works with the natural movements of the human wearer.
It was actually harder than you might expect to design a wearable machine that didn’t get in the way. The Soft Exosuit is attached with a network of fabric straps, but that’s only the beginning. Researchers had to carefully study the way people walk and determine which muscles would benefit from the added forces offered by the Soft Exosuit. With a better understanding of the biomechanics involved, the team decided to go with a network of cables to transmit forces to the joints. Batteries and motors are mounted at the waist to avoid having any rigid components interfering with natural joint movement.
The wearer doesn’t have to manually control how the forces are applied, or stick to a certain pace when walking with the Soft Exosuit activated. The machine is supposed to work with the wearer, not the other way around, remember? The designers integrated a network of strain sensors throughout the straps that transmit data back to the on-board microcomputer to interpret and apply supportive force with the cables.

Aware Of Selfiee


This age selfie. Many people have a habit of holding smart phone returns to take Self picture. Any incident takes Selfie habits Good or Bad? There is no assurance. Own habits that can damage the workplace, according to a recently published study. Researchers at the University of Georgia Own picture take regarding this study, it was found that it may be a sign of Narcissism admiring the self.

Not only that, this study suggests that indicate Selfie taking one's self and anarchy. It can affect one's employment. Companies engaged in the task of hiring a number of officials, and the analysis of social media, it was found that a large Selfie expressed reject.

With a group interested in the performance, so that it would lack the experts interpret. So just wondering Selfie lovers is best to take the picture.

Gadget For TreatinG Hair Loss

U.S company IGrow have developed Gadget For Treatment of HairLoss


Balding is a touchy topic with many people. They do not like to be reminded that their thick mane is now thinning, and what is left of it barely conceals their scalp. They miss running their hands through their hair, and more often than not, their confidence is linked to the amount of hair on their heads.

Hair transplant surely seems to be the only option available. But, a new method called Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is creating waves worldwide. LLLT helps in stimulating and energizing weak and thin hair follicles and shafts.

Usually, over time, follicles get damaged or deconstructed. In such cases, the hair progressively becomes thinner, and eventually dies, thereby not producing hair ever again. LLLT can, as has been proven in clinical trials, stimulate and re–energise these follicles so that they can produce thick hair again!

Apira Science, a pioneer in LLLT for the last 10 years, has come up with a device that can be used at home to re– grow hair. The iGrow device, patented by Apira Science, utilizes this LLLT technique and can be used at home. iGrow covers your full scalp with light from 51 sources (30 LEDs and 21 lasers), with an output of anything between 650 and 670 nanometers.

Technically, this creates wavelengths that are considered to be optimum in treating hair loss. The laser diodes’ output is 5 milliwatts. If you look it up, you’ll find that the lasers are 'Cold lasers', and, in effect, will not cause any harm.

The helmet, in addition to being extremely easy to use, is more comfortable than it looks. Like any new apparatus, you need to get used to wearing it. You can use it at home, while doing whatever it is you like doing.

It is recommended that you wear it three to four times a week for about six months. Some users have also noticed a few new strands of hair at the back of their heads. iGrow comes with an iPod/MP3 interface, which means you will be able to browse various playlists while the lasers are going about their work. Its standard 2.5mm audio port lets you listen to quality sound. The headphones also help the helmet position itself properly on your scalp.

Every session should last for a maximum of 20 – 25 minutes. The helmet’s remote control has three different settings for male baldness, and two for female. So, you just need to select your type and you are good to go. Once the selection is made, the lasers work on preset patterns, with a different pattern for each setting.

The lasers that are activated and the length of the time for which each stays on are determined by the choice of the setting.

Also, switching on the headphones does not distance you from your surroundings. You can pretty much hear what is going on around you while listening to what suits your groove.

You can use iGrow even if you have a head full of hair. In fact, the lasers will re–energise your follicles and make them healthy so that your hair becomes thicker.
